"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

As mentioned, it depends on what kind of crankin' you are wanting to do. Deep divers? A 4.7:1 to a 5.4:1 gear ratio. Burning a trap over grass? I prefer a 7.0 or 7.1:1 gear ratio. For MOST types of CBs, I throw a 4.9 to 5.1:1 ratio. most people prefer a higher spped reel for square bills, but I still lke my 5.1:L1 gear ratio. I haven't used the new Lews, but I have heard nothing but GOOD about them. They will be my next crankin' reel purchase. I think the one mentioned is about $160 or so, new. I will probably go with a BB1 or BB1Z for the 5.1:1 ratio, though. Hope this helps. OH, others will metioned Curado E5, if you can find one, or even better a Curado B5, but those are hard to come by. MOST good crankin' reels will set you back $150 or more. So, it depends on what you consider a decent price. Hope this helps.
Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
